I am an equine trainer operating from Orange, specializing in positive reinforcement, force-free, and stress-free training methods. I have a competitive background in various equestrian disciplines including high-level dressage, jumping, English, Western, barrels, cutting, reining, trail, and endurance.
Being a horse behavior specialist, I understand that comprehending horse behavior, biomechanics, and psychology, and applying them to everyday training is crucial in developing a successful, safe, and easy-to-ride horse, alongside a confident, adept, and accident-free rider. It is equally essential to implement management changes that resemble a horse's natural state and environment as closely as possible, creating a working relationship with the horse rather than against it.
My ultimate goal is to impart the use of effective and ethical training techniques, alongside proper care and management to form a partnership between the horse and rider. I strive to create a team that transcends disciplines and levels, producing a well-suited horse for any riding style without compromising the well-being of the horse or the personal goals of the rider.

After 60 years, I found myself straddling a horse once again and feeling rather apprehensive. However, Victoria's calming demeanor put me at ease; she was also incredibly patient and supportive. I left feeling confident and eager for my next lesson - I highly recommend her services!

My experience with Victoria was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge about horses is tremendous and she ensures your safety, especially if it's your debut or you haven't ridden in a while. What impressed me the most was her attentiveness towards my riding objectives, and she even went above and beyond to assist me in achieving them. Additionally, her equine companion was highly trained and secure. I'm undoubtedly returning for more riding sessions!

My experience with Victoria during the horse riding lesson was splendid! She exudes patience and kindness, and her observant nature ensures that you grasp every essential aspect of horse riding, including safety measures. Victoria meticulously watches you and provides guidance on how to improve your skills while riding the gentle and sweet Mercedes. For someone with limited experience with horses, overcoming the fear and gaining comfort around these magnificent creatures is imperative, and I must say that Victoria's tutelage had me feeling both safe and comfortable. I look forward to more lessons with her! ❤️
